I am going to assume that you are not dull, dry and boring – so why should your professional profile describe you this way?

Your new profile is your chance of making you look like the ideal coach, consultant or business owner.

In the eyes of your ideal client, you want them to feel that you are the best solution for their problems…..that you not only have the right set of skills, knowledge and experience to do the job, but you will also be interesting, fun, inspiring and/or enjoyable to work with.

Yes, the power of the written word holds a lot of control over who contacts you after reading your website or LinkedIn profile, and who kills your page in favour of reading the next coach or consultant’s bio.

Key elements of your professional Profile

What to Include in Your Profile:

Let the reader know what you do, why you do what you do (show your passion for your industry) and who your typical (or ideal) clients are.

Outline your scope of experience within the industry, and how your experience in other industries brings a benefit to your clients and colleagues.

Articulate your key strengths and skill set. If you know what clients want from you, then highlight these areas of expertise.

Showcase 1 to 3 career highlights – give specific details if you can, including the results you generated in measurable terms.

List 2 or 3 high profile clients you have worked with, and if you can outline how you have assisted them, even better (a link to a testimonial will be super effective in building your credibility too)

Speaking of links, if you can provide links to videos that demonstrate your product or service, include them.

Provide proof that your product or service is high quality or delivers on its promise.

Build credibility by listing your qualifications, and any awards or accolades you have received.

Start with a 400-word profile and then re-purpose it into the various formats, by cutting it down, to use in the different contexts. I would also recommend that you incorporate key search terms for online profiles. However, in doing so, don’t lose sight of how it reads to a real person.
